An adoption session in an AirBnb in Chicago? Not the easiest, but what an incredible and emotional challenge. And what an honor to be chosen after these two waited 6 years to be able to adopt. As they were traveling from the Netherlands, they didn't...
How lucky are we to live in the coolest city with the most amazing natural spots right in the center of Chicago? I just love finding hidden pockets that let you forget you're even in Chicago city limits. And the more flowers there the better,...
